About Me

the heavens seem
closer than they usually do-
peridot and indigo hued, the
soft rustling of bottle green leaves made kinetic by
lazy shadow-slinking creatures
eyes so wide and
gold-strung binary-star blinding,
piercing heavy lidded irises poking
through night's sleepy breath
they crawl up with short brushstrokes
over ultramarine hills
the colors of the sky painted
in their hearts
